A common factor in Hollywood has been the eccentricities, however, those of the rapper, also known as Sean Combs, have come into the eye of the hurricane, because in them, apparently, there has been conspiring to commit organized crime, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and human trafficking for prostitution.
These events, also known as “Freak offs”were scenarios in which abusive sexual encounters took place, between several people, and which were observed by the host, sometimes recorded, as reported in the 14-page federal criminal indictment against the producer and rap singer.
For the US government, these were horror shows and “elaborate and produced sexual performances”, which involved copious drug use and forced sex, leaving participants so exhausted and exhausted that they were given intravenous fluids to recover. Later, the government said, Combs used the videos he had recorded as a weapon to prevent participants from reporting.
“The activity of the ‘freak offs’ is the core of this case and they are intrinsically dangerous,” added Emily Johnson, one of the prosecutors, in a hearing held when the case was barely becoming known, after Casandra Ventura, former Combs’ partner will file a civil lawsuit.
In the document, the woman commented that her ex held these parties in luxurious rooms throughout the United States and that She was forced to bathe her body in baby oil and touch prostitutes while he filmed and masturbated.
Even in the raids carried out by the authorities, they seized nearly 1,000 containers of this substance. Although the artist’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, clarified that he did not know where the figure came from, he suggested that they were probably used for orgies.
“He treated the forced encounter as a personal art project, adjusting the candles he used for lighting to frame the videos he took.”Ventura’s lawsuit said.
What has been difficult for the authorities to believe is that they only learned about these parties in March, since since 2012, information about the exclusive meetings has been circulating, to the point that David Adler, founder of the marketing site BiZBash Media, said 12 years ago years that heThe spaces were for 400 people and that money came from the rapper’s budget for marketing, since it was cheaper to hold the event than to buy advertising.
To carry out these events it took teams of people who worked for P Diddy. Although none of them are named or charged in the indictment, They are characterized as a group that would fan out to find prostitutes and hotel rooms, deliver supplies, and then fix any damage to the rooms after the sessions. However, none of them reported the situation to the authorities because the rapper allegedly threatened the participants with showing the recordings.
“He used his business and employees of that business and other close contacts to get his way. These people allegedly included high-ranking supervisors in the business, personal assistants, security personnel and domestic staff.Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, said at a news conference.
World-class artists have also been involved in the scandal, although Combs’ lawyer has neither denied nor affirmed the information. Through old photos, P Diddy has been found with Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Leonardo DiCaprio, y Jennifer López, Las Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher y Paris Hilton.
In this regard, only DiCaprio commented that “He hasn’t been in contact with Diddy in years.” and that, although he attended some of his parties in the past, “he had nothing to do with the illicit activities that the rapper is accused of.”
The lawyer handling the artist’s case commented in a press conference that a list will soon be published revealing all those involved. The next hearing is scheduled for this Wednesday, October 9and will be conducted by Justice Arun Subramanian.
